SPEAKING THE UNSPEAKABLE

“…know the truth and the truth will set you free.” -John 8:32

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F.
Kennedy. It is time that we honored his sacrifice by demanding that the truth
be told about the circumstances of his death. There are important questions
that have not been answered by the Warren Commission or the government. Knowing
who killed Kennedy and why he was killed are two of the two most important
questions to answer if Americans are ever going to trust their government
again. The others are regard the extent of foreknowledge of 9/11 by US government
and exactly how it used this inside information to launch its war of terror.
This has served to hide from average Americans the fact that it is nothing but
a war for corporate Empire. Knowing the answers to questions about Kennedy’s
murder will go a long way toward answering questions about how and why 9/11 was
used by the corporatocracy to advance the aims of Project for a New American Century’s
plan for world domination. Until Americans understand this, they will continue
to be ignorant of why it is critical to unite to take back their government.

It is disgraceful that 50 years after the fact, the Obama
administration refused to release an estimated 50,000 pages of remaining
documents regarding its investigation into what could rightly be called the
crime of the century. Unanswered questions about the murder of an American
president are still sneeringly dismissed by the corporate media and politicians
despite the fact that the House
Select Committee on Assassinations concluded in 1978 that JFK was likely killed
as the result of a conspiracy, one that neither the FBI nor the Warren
Commission ever seriously considered. Fortunately, enough documents have been
released and witnesses identified that the basic outlines of the conspiracy are
clear, including the central role of the CIA.

For those who want to understand how Kennedy was killed, there are any number
of books that present the evidence for various theories to explain the many
aspects of the murder that were ignored or inadequately addressed by both the
Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations. For those
who want to know why he was killed,
they cannot do better than to read the meticulously documented JFK and the Unspeakable by James
Douglass. He does a good job of highlighting some of the most important
evidence. However, it is in his examination of the reasons that Kennedy was
killed that he excels. His may prove to be one of the most important books in
history, if its lessons are widely noted and heeded.

Thomas Merton defined “the unspeakable” is as “…an evil whose depth and deceit
(seem) to go beyond the capacity of words to describe.” In particular, the
unspeakable is truth that “too few are willing to see” because most of us are
“eager to be reconciled with the world at any price” He argues that the price
of turning from the truth of what Kennedy’s assassination means is a loss of
the national soul and with it, any prospect for world peace. As persuasively
argued in JFK and the Unspeakable and
in a speech
by Douglass outlining the argument, it was this quest for peace that led to
JFK’s murder by those who profited most from a growing military-industrial
complex that was already out of control by 1963.

Douglass traces the origins of the unspeakable to a 1948
National Security Council Directive authorizing the CIA to commit illegal
actions under the doctrine of “denial plausibility,” or without leaving
evidence of American involvement. This is what gives the CIA the ability to
operate with little congressional scrutiny and to conceal information from or
lie to the President, the press and the American people. He argues that by
1963, the CIA had assets in every branch of government, the military and
corporations that formed the industrial part of the
military-industrial-government complex. The CIA role in the Kennedy
assassination is suggested by Truman’s remarks shortly after: “For some time I have been disturbed by the
way the CIA has been diverted from its original assignment. It has become an
operational and at times a policy-making arm of the Government . . . There is
something about the way the CIA has been functioning that is casting a shadow
over our historic position and I feel that we need to correct it.”

The guiding principle of CIA operation is that what is good for the
transnational corporations that profit from military and economic conquests of
resource-rich nations is in “American” interests. This has always been the case
in American foreign policy, but never before had an agency of government been
given so much power with so much autonomy. It was bound to lead to conflicts
with any President who dared challenge the conventional wisdom of the Cold war
or those who profited from it. After the CIA lied to him in the Bay of Pigs
fiasco, Kennedy spoke of wanting to “splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces
and scatter it into the wind.” This was the opening salvo in what became a
covert war between Kennedy and every element of the military industrial complex
from the CIA and military to the industrialists, bankers and politicians whose
interests they served.

JFK and the Unspeakable counters the
myth that as an unrepentant Cold Warrior, Kennedy could not have been the
passionate idealist for peace that some have described him. This has been a
useful lie, serving to divert attention from the real motivation for JFK’s
murder and who carried it out and covered it up. The evidence now available clearly
documents Kennedy’s change after the Cuban missile crisis. After facing the
prospect of being responsible for a nuclear war that could have ended human
civilization as we know it, he was transformed from Cold Warrior to Soldier For
Peace, posing a direct threat to an established order that was based on endless
expansion of corporate Empire. Douglass documents the profound transformation
he underwent

After staring down generals who had called for a preemptive nuclear strike
during the missile crisis, JFK established continuing back door communication
with Kruschev, negotiating the first ABM missile treaty and even proposing a
joint US-Soviet space project that would have ended the space race that was a cover
for the dangerous escalation of nuclear weapons. With Kruschev’s help began setting
up a line of communication with Castro seeking normalization of relations that
continued until the day of his assassination. He ordered plans for the
evacuation of American troops from Vietnam, but military leadership stalled him
until his death, after which LBJ cancelled these plans and escalated the war. In
addition to these moves toward peace he challenged price fixing in the steel
industry, converted the US to a silver standard to reduce the power of the Fed
and seriously challenged Mafia power. Since the Mafia was an important source
of CIA assets and the international banks controlled the corporations that
profit from war, these too can be seen as part of his concerted effort to work
for world peace.

Finally, less than six months before his murder, Kennedy gave a
little-remembered speech at American University in which he called for an end
to the Cold War. Speaking about the common humanity of Americans, Russians,
Cubans, Vietnamese and all people of the Earth, his speech was widely hailed in
Russia, where it was front page news and a cause for rejoicing while being
virtually ignored in the US media.

JFK risked all in the pursuit of peace and was silenced as a result. He will
not have died in vain if we keep his dream alive. It starts with believing
peace is possible, even while acknowledging the tremendous forces that make it
seem otherwise. Understanding the real story of his murder is an essential first
step in creating a truly transparent government answerable to the People. The
next step is to make other Americans understand it as well. We owe as much to
Kennedy and the millions who have died in senseless wars in the belief that
they were defending liberty. Most of all, we owe it to our children and
generations to come to assure that the dream of liberty and justice for all
does not perish from the Earth.

10 years ago a lot of Americans still believed in the Iraqi WMDs, were driven by the new bogyman that the papers and Washington told them had replaced the Soviet Union as America's greatest threat. As fear dissipates people start to wonder what has been going on?

That is why it is so important for them to keep the fear alive until they complete the construction of the police state in the US, my friend. Part of what we need to do is explain to intellectually lazy Americans who "reason" by emotion alone why their fear will lead to the loss of all their freedoms if they do not get over it.

This is because of media consolidation, and its corresponding shortening of the political menu that is mediated to the US political consumer.

That's why SPREADING the truth is at least as important as retyping the truth in new articles. Some stories are moated by the MSM. Others are double moated by the MSM and Fake Alternative Media. Others triple moated by the MSM , FAM, and also FAM actively discouraging the left from going there. The left are the ones who SHOULD HAVE LONG BEEN GOING THERE AND ONCE WERE. That lane was made HOV traffic jam ... for very good reasons!

Why kill Kennedy? What could be worth the risk? The world's largest gold mine? Why did Eisenhower in January 1961 warn Americans of undue influence of a web of industrial and military interests?- Here's an interesting coincidence some weeks earlier in December 1960 a Cold-War architect Robert Lovett advised JFK on who to appoint as his cabinet, including Lovett's family friend and fellow bonesman McGeorge Bundy to run the NSC which immediately began telling JFK about the domino effect and how America would be surrounded by communist States unless it got Indonesia into the Dutch colony of West New Guinea.

Bundy tells JFK that West Papua was worthless dirt, he forgot to mention unle Lovett and the Rockefeller's plans for mining it fcx.comHere's another coincidence the deaths of Dag Hammarskjold, JFK, and RFK meant nobody at the UN raised the question about West Papua's sovereignty in 1969 when the New York Agreement expired; only the Kennedy brothers were alive to the fact that it was a UN trusteeship agreement, and they weren't alive anymore. Happy happy joy joy for Freeport and Bechtel operations from Aceh to Papua. And today the USindo.org is a mighty and unspoken lobby group... secrets and money don't the shareholders love them.

With everything else Kennedy did to alarm the architects of the NWO, I doubt this was at the top of the list of reasons to eliminate him, but I am sure that it was another nail in his coffin. As I recall, wasn't he killed about a month before a scheduled state visit to Indonesia at the behest of Sukarno?

I am certain that Kennedy's views on self-determination of emerging nations won him no friends among the corporatocracy, but it was clearly his efforts to end the Cold War and move toward normal relations with the USSR and Cuba that signed his death warrant.

About Us

OUR GOAL: The eradication of war by restoring democracy in America.

OUR MISSION: To challenge the US Congress to put the needs of the people above those of their plutocratic sponsors. We can only establish democracy in America and the world by working together to abolish the "rights" of corporations and those who control them to determine the collective destiny of the Peoples of the United States and of the world.

THE PROBLEM: is not that the American government does not work. It works fine for those who own it, just not for the people of America. It is corporate control of Congress that permits the enslavement of Peoples of other nations and ultimately, Americans as well.

Now that the global economic elite are bringing their tools of subjugation to the United States, we must fight back together to ensure that the hope of government of the People, by the People and for the People does not perish from the Earth.

Together, we can mend the social fabric of a broken nation and assure liberty and justice for all the Peoples of the planet we share.

War and lack of health care are symptoms of the same disease: corporate control of the US government. That is why we must take back America for the people by working to pass a Constitutional amendment to get corporate money out of elections and abolish corporate personhood. This is the essential first step to creating true representative government.

Until Americans learn to fight their common enemy instead of each other, there is no reason to expect real change. We must put aside our differences to fight the imposition of a corporate New World Order if we are going to ensure that our children grow up in a rational, sustainable world where war is but a memory.
